Usually when a team is close enough to try, which is usually inside the other teams forty yard line, and when the idea of scoring a TD is not plausible.
It is the imaginary area between the defense's 20-yard line and its goal line from which the offense is most likely to score points. It also is how well a team performs in the red zone can often determine the outcome of a game.

18-19 yards behind the 1 yard line
Endzone to endzone it is 100 yard. From goal post to goal post it is 120 yards
One football field is 300 yards from goal line to goal line. 1 yard = 3 feet. If you are wanting to know how many feet are from goal line to goal line, it would be 300 feet. The end-zones are another 10 yards each. This adds another 60 total feet. If you are asking from goal post to goal post it would be 360 feet.
45 degrees
If a kickoff goes through the goal post without being touched by a player, it is considered a touchback. In American football, a touchback occurs when the ball is kicked into the end zone and the receiving team chooses not to advance it out. The receiving team then starts their offensive drive at their own 25-yard line.
Add 7 yards for the distance between the snapper and the kicker and add 10 yards from the beginning of the endzone to the goal post. For example: a team at the 20 yard line would be kicking a 37 yard field goal.
